Hi M,

Thanks for the fast reply,

I know that normal users do not use that many devices, but test systems
or bluetooth servers (gateways) can easily have more than 16.

I will see what i can do. What is needed is probably a
hci_set_max_devices() call. Then hcitool could call that with the number
of devices needed.

Thanks,
